I think this would be very useful - I've found the most time 
consuming part of residential areas is tidying up the end of streets.

Although there are a range of shapes used for this (a 
mini-roundabout around a tree, a circle/square apron of tarmac, 
an L, a T, a Y, etc), any given area often uses the same pattern 
over and over again.


It would be very handy to be able to drag out a standard "end 
cap" onto a road rather than manually creating 2-3 extra little 
ways to finish it off.

Similarly for roundabouts/mini-roundabouts - although these are 
never a true circle, having a pre-tagged circular shape you 
could drag out would mean you'd just need to connect it up then 
distort it to match the true shape.
